Lacon Road Railroad Crossing, Lacon, AL

originally recorded on 9-2-24
Signal on the left: 2 pairs of WCH 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs.
Signal on the right: 2 pairs of Safetran 12x24 inch lights with WCH 2nd Generation LEDs and a General Signals Type 1 electronic bell.
On Labor Day, I went out to do some local railfanning and check-up on some stuff. I decided to stop back by this crossing on the S&NA North to start with, as I hadn't filmed it in a few years. After a bit of waiting here, I was able to catch my first train of the day: CSX I026 with an AC44CW leading a CM44AC for power.
As you can see, this crossing hasn't changed too much in the past couple of years since I last filmed it. However, sometime recently (it seems), CSX replaced the original MI base on the closer signal with a new WCH one. Thankfully, no other major changes appear to have occurred to this crossing, though it appears that a few of the LEDs here have had their arrays come out of the gaskets. Glad to see the GS Type 1 lives on here, however.

Looks like this crossing has stop signs, reminds me of Old Owassa Road.
